I know how to send a link in one of the auto emails, but I want the PDF itself (or ideally, certain fields of a PDF) to appear in a form.

Bob receives notification that Abby has agreed to a meeting, and is directed to Form 2, where he can agree to the meeting that Abby initiated in Form 1. I've wired it up to auto-populate other fields, given info from the first form, but can't solve how to automatically include the PDF of Form 1 in Form 2. I'd like Bob to just be able to indicate that he agrees to all the terms proposed in Abby's Form 1 PDF, add his signature, and be done. But, I want the original FORM 1 PDF to be displayed if we were to print out a PDF of Form 2, to verify they really did agree to exactly the same terms.

You can just place this in the notification. When you or the users receives the email, he will get the link of both reports.

Please let us know if this helps.

Thank you for taking a shot at this, however, my question is not about sending an e-mail with the link to the PDF, but rather having the PDF appear in the second form. The goal is to prove that the user is agreeing to the same thing that we saw.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to automatically display the PDF submission generated by Form 1 to Form 2 as a document. The PDF submission needs to be downloaded first. That is why my colleague provided a download link for the PDF submission directly on the email notification that should be sent to "Bob".

The email that "Bob" will receive with the PDF submission from Form 1 will be the proof that there's a submission made in Form 1. He then needs to review the downloaded PDF submission and decides to fill out Form 2 depending if he agrees with the submission in Form 1.
